As first responders, our deputies are often some of the first to arrive on the scene after severe weather strikes. This included the Hallam Tornado which destroyed most of the village on May 22, 2004. 20 years after the Hallam Tornado, Sheriff Wagner, Chief Deputy Houchin, and Captain Vik sat down with Sgt. Jason Mayo, Dep. Kory Lehr, and Dep. Zach Meyer to discuss three different tornados that impacted Lancaster County over the last two decades. Listen in as they talk about what it's like to arrive during those initial moments of chaos.
